atf online form 1 help for self manufactured silencer

[oneindianrider]

Trying this morning to get two self manufactured silencers thru the form 1 online with my new trust and somewhere I read an article to help to do this
The problem right now is how do I put that I made it, because under add a firearm and it wants a mfg name and I cant get past that part.
I have googled till my hands hurt and still no luck
Thanks

You already made them? Just now doing form 1? Hide the dog.

NO they aren't made just the designs and lengths and serial numbers and calipers

If you are creating the firearm yourself, such as a silencer or a short barreled rifle (when finishing a receiver that is not yet a firearm), there is no original manufacturer. Because of the large number of makers (which includes filings by trusts), we do not issue a specific code to each maker. Instead, we use a generic code of FMI to denote a Form 1 registration. Thus, when submitting an eForm 1 where there is no original manufacturer, on the line item screen, a window for the entry of manufacturer is opened after clicking the Add Firearm button. At this point, the applicant should click the “By Manufacturer Code’ button and enter FMI as the manufacturer code and click Verify. The applicant will then select the United States as the country of manufacture and proceed to the description screen. Please note that ‘FORM 1 REGISTRATION’ will appear as the name of the maker on the PDF of the eForm 1. Again, the applicant is the maker and registrant for purposes of the NFA and must mark the firearm.

Read the sticky at the top of this board. SRS put up a good tutorial.

This is how to do it plus I attach a one sentence MS Word document clarifying that this is a suppressor being made for the benefit of the trust to get it out of Pending Research quicker...

One other thing to note is that the "Model" is optional for a Form 1 build. If you do enter one, it must be engraved along with the other required information...

I just tried it and if you list the code of FMI I have not figured out how to list a unique model name. I see the name of a previous suppressor I F1d but I cannot create a new one.

After you input FMI check the "My item description is not in the list, create new item." box, and that will unlock the Model and Caliber fields...
